Ina problem invalvi ing clandestine markings for terminals in a telephone cable
cross box, —

2, Specifically, tt is destred to have the capability of recognizing which
cable terminals tia box are being used for telephone tapping without having any
markings apparent to unauthorized persous, This system is needed for use in
the event that taps must be disconnected quickly under the direat of a possible
security problem,

3. The tap connections are made by LIFEAT telephone company per-
sonnel and the terminals could be marked by them at the time the tap is made,
The connections sometimes have to pe removed by another person who is not
familiar with the comections,

4, {tis felt that a quick drying, transparent glue or lacquer thar would
fluoresce brightly under UV Ulumination would be appropriate, A material that
could be remuved later by wiping or chipping it away would be desirable but this
characteristic ts not vital,

5. The system must be usabie in open shade, although some additional
shade might be had by partially closing the doors of the box, and the light source
must be portable and if possible have the appearance of an ordinary flashlight,
The light source can be brought within two inches of the terminals,

informacion and live- monitoring support during the installation phase of a
successiul Station technical operation targeted against Aleksandr G, SIDOROV,
Soviet Military A:tache in Mexico, :

(2), LIFEAT/Cuban This coverage provided valuable cperational

“support during the period leading up to the recruitment of AMSTRUT-2 giving
timely advance information of AMSTRUT-2's arrival in Mexico, as well as

his day to day activities and contacts, ° Following AMSTRUT-2's recruitment,
LIFEAT gave an excellent account of AMSTRUT-2's activities for those period:
he was not under the control of his case officers, This was invaluable proof
of his full cooperation with KUBARK and added a safety factor for the case
officers making ihe recruitment and initial handling which would not have been
otherwise available, .

(3) LIFEAT/Polish and LIFEAT Yugoslav These coverages cen-
tinue to provide exscllent information of the duily activities of the Satellite
officials assigned to Mexico, The LIFEAT support of che BEKNAVE/BECHICK
optraticn continues as noted ia reference, -

2. VILSTED emphasised that the whole telephone systen in} Mexteo
City is undergving a reformation. The company Telefonos de Yexteo, S.Asy
has sub-contracted this work of cleaning up and rearganisins the phono
systen to the independent firs, Intel. Thay are cloaring w unused and

“old lines; putting in new: and spare lines, redefining exchango areas,
‘laying underground cables, etc, Fventually we should be better off bor

cause there should be nore surplus limes. The renovation work his
hampered much of the LIFZAT work, principally bocauso mary of the Lines

- Row are underground and we camot pet access to them before they enter

the central. This is particularly true with respect to the Cesch Sme

. bagsy, to whose telenhone lines we esnnot obtain access Iran the vantara

point we now occupy.

3e WILSTRD ecid that we try to keop track of the activities of
"Intel" but since thoy eesa to attack "Colonias™ at randoa, wa havo no
prior waming of their presence in a certain area. . .

he In the recent past, “axico has beer using houses for Listing
posts for security reasons. we have sore control over tha ecceas of
phone company inspectors or repairman to houses. However, under newt
regulations, all new apartaont buildings oust have telentone lines ine

stalled in the building by the phone company during the corstruction

phase. This means that the Lines and their deutination are concealed,
WILSTED proposed that this will mean ve can agein use arertosnts since

_ we can siphon off a line dastined for use Ly another tenant in such a

way that the phone company cannot trace ite destination without tearing

‘the building apert ‘and we can then insto2l a sensrate Lina to the build-

ing and hook up the subseriier to this Line which, ag. checeeds. will:

Section V, paragraph 2(d) (1).

A. Exploitation of Leads ©

(1) LIFEAT/SOVIET . With the departure cf Vladimir G,’
NOVIKOV during the munth of August 1962, ic was decided chat LIPEAT should
pick up coverage of his replacement Svyatoslav F, KUZNETSOV, The contin-
ucd coverage of wleksandc G, SIDOROV, which includes extensive periods of
live- monitoring ‘and special process ing of the take, is considered essential to
those Station-assets involved in the attempt to place the technical surveillance
noted in last month's report (see reference A). Coverage of the Soviet Bulletin
Office continues to provide interesting personality data on Soviet officials
assigned to Mexico, .

(2) LIFEAT/POLISH LIFEAT coverage in support of the
BEKNAVE/BECHICK operation continues to be vital to that operation, Addi-
tional coverage for this operation has been undertaken, Leads from which will

- probably determine future direction of the operation as well as aid KUBARK in
controlling the operation, ,

(3) LIFEAT/YUGOSLAV __. In this area LIFEAT provided the infor-
mation that a cousin of a recently assigned KUBARK deep cover agent, Victor
W. OBOLD (ps) will be travelling to Mexico inthe near juture. This cousin is

- a long-time Communis: Party official and a chance meeting with hita could
have destroyed OBOLD's carefully prepared cover, Due cw LIFEAT advanced
warning, proper security safeguards have been arranged, LIFEAT has also

provided travel information on Yugoslav officia!s froni the United States which

was of great interest oc ODENVY OATE TPLD DATE OISPAIGNED

(-) LIFEAT/EXILE: LIFEAT coverage ia this arca has been
tost rowardiag in providiiitg ieads io tie coniacts of Juaivjose Arevalo Berniejo,
“former Guaidaialan President. ‘Spimish Republican Exiles were covered for |
approximately one-half month -in August, at which time i was decided chat the
coverage: no fonger provided suffigient leads and information :o justify con-

tinued LISEAT effort. . ; “

(3) LIFEAT/American Communist Group in Mexico (ACGN)
This coverage is at the request.of the local office of ODENVY and the processing
of take in -his, area. is done by that office. One of the niost interesting items
provided from this coverage. was tae fact that the American Communists Albert
MALTZ.and Margaret Larsia MALTZ had separated and that Albert MALTZ
would probably reside in the U.S. with Margaret remaining in Mexico. Con-
ceming ihe LIFEAT coverage of the ACGM, ihe local office of ODENVY wrote
on 23 August 1962: "This office feels that the coverage mentioned Is quite .
valuable and many useful leads are obtained from this cov erage, particularly
with regard to travel in and out of Mexico of American Conimunists who are
in contact with individuals on whom coverage is maintained”,

B, Proc rocessing of Take

No change from that nated in reference A.

C. Liaison

“No change from that noted in reference A. ‘

D. Security

During che early part of August 1962 a group of “coyotes” was uncovered
In the telephone company in Mexico City and a number of arrests were made,
This group had organized a unit. including linemen, ceniralmen, installation |
crew, Warechousemen, and workers in the office responsible for providing ser-
vice to new clients, It was ihe-purpose of the "coyote": group to provide service,
fora price, ‘o those individusls wnose requests for insiallations had been turned
down by che telephone company due to limited availability of cables and contacts,
(Note: The company generally keeps a certain number of "spare pairs” in each
cable for its own use ln providing special service, company phones, and for re-
routing during repairs co other cables, It was these spare pairs and contacts
which the “coyotes” used to provide illegal phone service.) This telephone com-
pany within the telephone company would also collect monthly fees from their
“subseribers". When the story came out, ihe telephone company had special
police stationed in each central and spot checks made of linemen and crews to -
preven: recurrence, [t was therei‘ore necessary for the LIFEAT linemen to
refrain from any clandestine activity for a period of almost four weeks so as
not to be accidentally picked up as a member of the "'coyote’ group, LIFEUD-1
has reported ihat the situation is now back co riormal with the special police
details and special checkups terminated, No compromise of ihe LIFEAT oper-
ation resuited. from the above incident.

E. Teennical

In Gddition to re-supplying LIFEAT with audio recorders (as reported in
reference A), che Station has ordered rea jew dial tape recorders for the projeci
Funds for this purpose were inctuded ia the latest Proje ct Renewal R2quest

‘The basehouse operators for LIFEAT Annex Vi, LIFEUD-5 and LIFEUD- L
after.a long period uf family disagreemans, have mutually decided ona
divorce, Both are being terminated by KUBARK since their usefulness as
basehouse keepers for the project will end with their divorce. The agents have
agreed to the termination and it-will be accomplished ou a friendly basis,
(Agent Service Records will be forwarded), Therefore, it has been necessary
to close Annex VI and terminate coverage of the lines provided by that base-
house, LIFEUD-24 and LIFEUD-26 have been recruited to replace the ter-
minated couple and are presently looking for a suitable basehouse which could
fully replace ihe old Annex VI. (Note: POA was granted for LIFEUD-24 on 28
June 1962: and OA was requested, “Also, OA was requested for LIFEUD-26

on 30 August 1962.)

mouths, and more importantly, that no one would be convinuausly watching
the apartment during diat cime,,. Based on this information, the Szation has
deen able to make the necessary preparations for establishing technical

Targets covered in this-category are tu answer to a long standing require-
meat laid on by ODENVY aad approved by Headquarters, In ihe past
,ODENVY has notéd the coverage as valuable and worthwhile:te zhem, As
“dn/the pas: reliable’ information was provided on the activitles, travel, and
contacts of the ACGM, ; :

B, Processing of the Take

‘ LIFEAT processors continue to process all take for the LIFEAT
’ Operation except for the three ACGM ‘ines which are processed by the
..local ODENVY office, .

, C, Liaison
No change,

D. Security

No securlty incldents directly affecting the operation or future of
LIFEAT were noted during July 1962, The asslgnment of special telephone
compahy crews to make a survey of spare telephone lines available for
use of new subscribers may cause problems when these Crews uncover a
“spare” line used‘in a LIFEAT coverage, However, sincé these crews
have no authority (or desire) to'trace down the Ines to thetr ultimate .
destination, normal LIFEAT security pracitces should negate this danger,
A second development which could cause future problems is the possible
assignment ofa LIENVOY techniclan to check telephone ceatrals to see
exactly wio else may be carrylag oa LIENVOY iype work, -As of this date
LIFEAT personnel, who have heen provided with the crue name of this
individual, have never heard of him working in any central in Mexico City,
As af this momeat it appears ‘this will not develop into a thréat to ,
LIFEAT operations, ‘ ; ; :

E. Technical

New recorders provided in May.to LIFEAT are now in operation and
appear superior to previous models used, It is planned, with the approval
of Project LIFEAT for FY 1963, to completely re-equip LIFEAT with new
recorders and possibly dial tape recorders, .

F, Coverage ,

During the month of July 1962, LIFEAT covered a tozal of 16 larger.

oo On 21 June 1960 LITENSOR suggested to COS thar LIENVOY
begia operations against the Soviet-and Satellite targets in Mexico City. In
order not to indicate thar the unilateral LIFEAT operation was providing this
coverage, it was necessary for COS to agree to this suggestion, So ag not to
jeapordize LIFEAT opersitons and personnel, LIFEAT coverage was suspended
on the Soviet Embassy and Polish Legation, and the applicable “crosses” were
pulled and‘cleaned, This was accomplished by 1030 on 22 June 1960, Coverage

* On.the evening of 1S June COS met with LITENSGR at me home of LIELEGANT
(seo MEXI-5761), Among other subjects discussed, LITENSOR urgently
suggestod thar OCS arrange coverage of the Soviet/Sateliza installations.
Since this coverage Is obviously one of great Literest to KUBARK, COS was |
left with no alternative but to cuthuslistically accept LITENSOR's suggestion,
LIELEGANT way equally enthusiastte about the sugzectton and requenied COS
‘to furalsn a Hist of target nes as coon as possible. On 2UJune Maleolm Q.
EDELAND passed to LIENVOY/2 a ILst of 4 Soviet, 2 Polisi, 2 Czech and 2 Yugo-
slav lines. The Polish, the Czech, Yugoslav and | Soviet line were placed witiln
two days. Meanwhile-all LIFEAT Sovict/Satellite lines were reinoved. Alter
due consideration lt was decided to advise LIENVOY/2 that we would prefer to
drop the 2 Pollah Ines aad ut least one Yugoslav line and use all remaining
avatlable lincs (LIENVOY can handle a magzimurn of 30 Has, always keeplag

‘two spares) to cover a total of five Sovict Itnas and keeplag the two Czech Mnea
already la operation, ‘This was agreed to but the [sur addtional Sovler lines
Could nat be placed immediacsly dug to the temporary absence from we city of
LIENVOY/3 whose aid was aeeded to fulflll thts aasignovent,

The evenruality of a request from high Mexican officials for LIENVOY coverage
of Soviet/SateHite with tta attendant affect upon LIFEAT had been foreseen by
the Station for sometime. On az least two previous occasions when a hint way
made to OOS by lesser officials than LITENSOR, COS waa able to dissuade
these officals on the basis of tack of qualified persoanel for processinay, trana-
ertbing, and exploting the take that would come from taps against Sovlet/ |
Satellte installations, However, an the above occasion whe LICENSOR evea
went 80 far.aa to suggest that the trauslatlons could be haadled by language
experts at Headquarters COS wa:i in no positlon to argue thls point with.
LITENSOR, ‘The actual Impremenration of the Change over of Soviet/Sutellize
coverage from LIFEAT to LHENVOY (LIFEAT went back on Polish Legatton in
late June) was accomplished smoothly, with no flapa and the Station does net en-
visien any problems, certainly, in the Immediate future. . _

The processteg and transertbing is belng handled in exictly tite sume fashloa as
\ before i.e., LIENVOY is doing the taps only, LiFEAT persounel-are processing
the tapes from LIENVOY. As tar ag die Mexteans are concerned, the tapes are
belng forwarded to Headquarters for processing with the transcriptions being
sent back to the “tation for our tnformation,. The Station has promised
LIENVCY/2 and LIELEGANT a monthly summary of any totervoting alghlights
that appear tn these transcripttons. - , .

LIFEAT lines: Principally involved were the Soviet Ilies, including one week
break on aa Embas3y line, three weeks on the Soviet Motion Picture Office line,
and one week on the Soviet Commercial Office liae. ‘These "outages" were
primarily due-to the telephoae company pulling the LIFEAT crosses, or the

8 June 1960

KEMORATOUN For:  C/WY/3/Mexico
SUBJECT: LIFEAT

1. Dur ing my recent visit to Meixteo I had a geod chance to go
over many of the ins-and-outs of this project with the Case Officer
and with other officers in the Station. At Station staff.meeting I po
stated that reporting on CI material derived from thu project was .
inadequate and COS appeared to so along with this view, ‘The conesnsus °
I got from the Case Officers was that the SP Case Officer is not
sufficiently alert to the need for reporting on the CI aspects of
tha matter and is limiting himself to strictly servicing Sk. Division
matturs, Various Case Officers cited instances to me of conversations
peintins to new clandestine relatienships or containing previously
known clandestine relationships in the Soviet field which have not
been reported. ° Owing to a lack of time, I was unable to examine the
records myself, but I am inclined to accept those statements as true,

2. The Case Officer gave me a general run-down of tho situation
. of the agents on this project ans it appears that everything is running
“very well, He told me that in his new project outline, which will
be up. in a week or two, he is including some raises to some of the
agents. He told me that on his iast round of pay raises he had some
difficulty here at headquarters. If any difficulty seems forthcoming
this time, I should like to have the matter brought to my attention
‘because, as you know, I feel very strongly on this matter and fought
the sano battles. with headquarters for at least five years, —

‘3, In speaking with the Case Officers on the Cuban side, as well
as on the CI, it wag apparent that LIFSAT remains probably the biggest
single source of information available to the Mexico City Station
and that every effort should be nade to continue its smooth functioning.
If this means a couple of huncrad pesos increase to each agent semi-annually
or annually, it does rot seem to te too much of a strain and I do net
see why we should have any trouble, When I compare the salaries of
the base operators and processers cn this project, especially consicering
illegal position they are in, with those of relatively unproductive
agents elsewhere in Yexico and in zany other Stations, I cannot help
but feel that we are buying a creat deal for our money in this project.

MEMORANDUM FOR THS RECORD
SUBJECT: DEARIEFING OF CAYID M. WILSTED (ps)

2. On 2 June 1960 Mr. John 3. Heyn ard Mr. John Kennedy of WED,

“Mr. Robert: Brown of CI/OPS, “tr. Robert Bryant of FI/OPS and Me. Charles

Bray of. FI/D mat with Navid M, WILSTED (pa),

2. WILSTED emphasizes that the whole telephone system in Mexico
City is undergoing a reforzation. Tha company Telofonos da Mexico, S.A.,
has sub-contracted this work of. cleaning up and reorganizing the phone
system to the independent ‘firm, Intel, They are cleaning up unused and .
old lines, putting in new asd Spare lines, redefining exchange areas,
laying underground cables, etc, Eventually we should be batter off bee
cause there should be, more surplus lines. The renovation work has
hampered much’ of tha LI?Za? work » principally because many of the lines
now .are underground and we camot get access to them beforo they enter
tho central. This io particzlarly true with raspect to the Czech Eme
bassy, to whose telephone lines we cannot obtain access from the vantage
point we now occupy, : ss

3. WILSTED seid that we try to koep track of the activities of

"Intel" but since they seez to attack "Colonias" at random, we have no

prior warning of theiy prasence in a certain area.

he In the recent past, “exico hes been using houses for listing
posts for security reasons. - de have more control over the accass of

' phone company inspectors or repairmani to houses. However, under new

regulations, all new apartrect bulldings must have telephone lines ine
stalled in the ‘building by tae pkong comoany during the constructicn

‘phase. This means that tha lines’ and'their destination ara concealed.

WILSTED proposed that this will mean we can again uso apartments since
we can siphon off a line dJastined for use by another tenant in such a
way that the phone company carmot trace its destination without tearing
the building apart and we can then distall a separate line to the build-
ing and hook up the subseriter to this, line which, if checked, will
belong to a legitimato subscriber, : i ‘ .

Se -One system which has been used effectively is to take oneehalf?

‘ of to saparate pairs which hava one faulty line each. Thesa two half"

pairs than fora one gcod Dair which Wo can use,

66 WILSTsD explainad that it cost about 3000 pesos to get a

’ regular telephone. This entsile tha purchase of a telephone company

bond, which later can be sold,

8. The take from each Masehouse is collacted early in the morning
before office hours by RAFANELLI. He only enters ona basehouse which is
occupied ty an elderly couple. Alt other contacts are in automobiles.

Sige. spote each day of the week, RAFANELLI then takes the

-msde at 2iffarent

material to s seeting between hin, WILSTED and SECHEN wher RaFANSLLI
turmma the material over to SECHEN and they all discuss the problens and.

plans for the daye

9, According to WILSTSD there is no live menitering dona by any

section Vv, paragraph. 2 (d) O): :

“a, Expiottation of Leads :

: a Thi: LIMERICK phase of the LIFEAT operation is able
continuously 10 provide the interested case officers with background personality
-information on the members of the’Sovietr Embassy staff, as well as travel infor-

.mation on Sovier officials and diplomatic courlers, During the month of April
1966, this type of information was exploited for the following:

a) Viktor Nikolayevich GLOTOV, First Secretar ry,
will be the replacement for Viadimtr Georgiyevich NOVIKOV ©
as Cultural Officer when the latter leaves for the USSR on —
29 Mey 1960, He will also act as the Soviet Ambassador's
executive secretary during the home leave of Vladimir Ivan-
ovich CHERNYSHEV, CHERNYSHEV departed for leave o
“7 April:

; b) Nikolai ZHOUGANOV was the replacement ot
‘Anatolly Konstaiitinovich YEMELYANOV, Commercial | «
‘Offtce employee who works "upstairs" tn the Chancellery.
rather than in the Commercial Office. This indicated.
that ZHOUGANOV: may be’a code clerk, | . a

c) Confirmation that four ‘aliens are aera in the
(Chancery, as teachers, one of whom teaches English,

d) Indications uf increased contact between the Soviet
and Cuban officials as noted in the travel of Sov iet officers
to Havana and conversations berween the Cuban Embassy
and the Soviet Ambassador indicating an announcement of ,

’ importance was'to.be made on 8 May, possibly concerning.
the establishment of diplomatic relations between Cuba:
aid ihe USSR, ‘

e) Through the review of past LLIFEAT traffic and
the direct statements of the Soviet Embassy personnel in
discussions of ' ‘duty rosters", it has been derermined that:
a reduction in the Embassy staff is in progress. Future :
LIFEAT information should disclose whether thts reduction
is of a permanent or temporary nature, Done

“shipments 6f Russtan form tractors for-which DESWAAN has received payment
from the Mexican Government, the ultimate purchaser, LIFEAT indicates
DESWAAN has made himself unavaflable to the Soviets since two of his checks
have “bounced” for lacks of funds. LIFEAT further noted that the Soviets are
concerned over reports that DESWAAN is planning an carly summer trip to
Europe withhis entire family, 7

- _ LIMERICK provided valuable support to the Station's AEIMPULSE
. Operation by furntshing detailed ‘information, on the DeSwuan and Esteve Brothers

“commercial dealings with the Soviets, It was.algo employed.as a security device

after the conclusion of the above operation, |. Q

ooo - ce ‘Leads were provided on two properties of Interest to the Soviets, .
Calle Mazatlan #208 and ‘Calle Chilpancingo #13, which were a valuable contribution

to the LIMESA Project,

Nl) “LIFEAT/LITMUS was the source of information on the arrival in

- and depa rture from Mexico City of Polish officials Jozef WINEWICZ, former
Polish Ambassador to Washington, and Boleslaw JELEN,

(I) -  LIFEAT/LIERODE continued to provide excellent operational
leads concerning Cuban.and exile operations, Of particular note was the ability
of Station Mexico to warn an ODACID officer of a possible "walk-in" provocation
-attempt by an agent of the Cuban Embassy. LIERODE also provided information
on four American citizens who entered Mexico on their way to Honduras to join
an antl-Somoza revolutionary attempt,

b. Processing of Material

Although the LIFEAT project must be constdered primarily a
_Station support project, an effort to further exploit LIFEAT for positive
intelligence has been made by assigning the assistant cage officer the task of
coordinating the efforts of the appropriate area case officers and the Station
reports officer in matters concerning LIFEAT produced information, Although

>. this system has been tested only during the month of Apr, it is hoped that it

wlll prove of value in increasing the positive intelligence take from LIFEAT
provided material, - .

a No change was made In the manner of processing the raw LIFEAT
reels during the month of April, .

c. Liaison
. AS in the past, the only lia ison connected with Project LIFEAT
is tn passing reels from coverage of the American Communists in Mexico te
GDENVY for their processing, No other liaison is considered necessary or
desireable, . ; . :

d. Security. -
